I bought a bunch of components online and had a question for the forum. Does anyone here have their hybrids shafted with a graphite iron shaft? If so any feedback? I would also take any other thoughts someone might want to contribute.

Thanks!

hey well I have 2 Callaway Big Bertha Heavenwoods with graphite shafts in them and I get great distance (230 yards with 5 hybrid when regular 5 iron goes 200.) I'm not totally sure if the shafts are iron shafts or not (probably). But, i love the feel of them. Even on mishits, it still feels smooth and soft at impact. I hope this helps. (also, try the callaway big bertha heavenwoods, they have a great sound and feel.)

Have a good one.

Driver: Callaway Big Bertha Diablo 9º

Wedges: Cleveland CG14 50º, 54º
              Taylormade RAC 58º
Putter: Ping Darby 32" shaft

You more than likely can't put a shaft from an iron into a hybrid because the tip would be a different diameter. However, cutting an inch and a half or so on the hybrid shaft would give you a similar effect.

you can search for your hybrid and get the tip specs. I use a graphite design YS shaft in mine. I know a lot of people won't do this...but my diamana shaft wouldn't fit into my hiborexl. I had to have it shimmed to fill in and fit the head...but doesn't effect the playability any.. as long as you have a good club maker that knows what he/she's doing, they can make a thinner tip fit into a larger diameter head (within reason).

I personally like a heavier shaft for my 3 wood and hybrid than what's in my driver. my driver is a diamana white board 63. everything else is in the 80 gram range.....

Actually, most Hybrids use a .370 dia shaft.....same as most irons.

There WILL be times where a shim is needed...no biggie.

Can anyone recommend a good graphite shaft for under $30.00 to match up with my Bang Hybrids?

My swing speed is between 70-75 mph with a moderately aggressive downswing. Looking to gain a little more distance, but also accuracy.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      Day 549, May 4, 2024 After lessons and working with Natalie, hit some balls for awhile. Just backswing stuff. Forgot about the slightly shorter stuff, though I'm sure it was as they were only about 75% speed with brief pauses.

      Best Shot of the Week

      Best drive I've ever hit: I will not be answering any questions about the rest of the hole. Or the round, for that matter.

      7 Wood

      By trombettista_vecchio ·

      I tried hybrids way back when TaylorMade introduced the copper orange Firesole Rescue, the clubhead having been made of titanium which was still relatively new even in drivers back then. I couldn't hit it well at all, and while the success of hybrids suggests that the modern ones must be quite good,  I'm perfectly happy with the 5, 7, and 9-woods.  Early ones of mine were Top Flite Intimidator 400s made by Spalding... and also made of titanium, now that I think of it.  I still have them in my basement. I do bag a driving iron, but it's a one-trick-pony that never sees fairway use.

      New Maxfli Tour and Tours Balls?

      By trombettista_vecchio ·

      The last time I played Maxfli balls, Dunlop was still making them. How long ago was that? Mostly, though, I used to play Top Flites (original 336 dimple model) when Spalding was still making them. Now I play the Pro V1x. Last time that I ordered some, Titleist was still making them. Let's see how long that lasts.
